Banking revolution sets its sights on Bristol

01-May-2018

Metro Bank is set to open a new store in
central Bristol this autumn, creating around 25 new jobs for local people. The
seven-day-a-week store will combine face-to-face relationship banking with
state-of-the-art technology, providing residents and businesses with a
customer-focused and convenient banking experience.

The city centre store will offer business,
personal and private banking services for the whole community, from early in
the morning until late at night, seven-days-a-week. Customers will be able to
pop in-store without an appointment and in most cases, open a personal or
business account on-the-spot, leaving with a printed debit card, along with
internet and mobile banking all set-up.

Business customers will have at hand a friendly
local business manager to support them as they grow and develop, as well as
free access to the Forum of Private Business’ wealth of bespoke resources.
What’s more, the store will have over 4,000 safe deposit boxes for customers to
store their valuables, as well as free coin counting facilities for children
and adults alike.

Jo Hawkins, Broadmead Bristol BID manager
commented:

“We are delighted that Metro Bank has chosen to
invest in Broadmead and we eagerly await the opening of this exciting new bank.
We wish the team every success and look forward to working with them.”

Craig Donaldson, CEO at Metro Bank said:

“Joining the Bristol community is a real
milestone for us and we’re delighted to be opening in such a fast-growing and
dynamic city. We can’t wait to bring the banking revolution to the residents
and businesses of Bristol so whether you’re looking for a banking partner to
help your business take its next step, or simply want somewhere where you feel
welcome early until late, we will soon be in Bristol to show what great service
and convenience is all about.”

Metro Bank has secured a prominent location at
40-46 Broadmead, BS1 3HB for its revolutionary store – which will have baby
changing facilities and gender-neutral toilets for customers and non-customers.
Residents and businesses are also encouraged to attend the store’s fun and
interactive networking, charity, and family events which will be held all year
round.

All stores are open at the most convenient time
for local people from 8am to 8pm Monday to Fridays, 8am to 6pm on Saturday and
11am to 5pm on Sundays and bank holidays, 362 days a year.
